Fame or Shame reunites Michael and Trevor, then sends them to Maze Bank Arena to interrupt Tracey’s audition. The gold checklist is built around two brief opportunities: the coordinator outside the arena and the truck chase afterwards. Keep the trailer attached throughout the chase even though dropping it makes the truck easier to handle.
Step-by-step walkthrough
-
Drive to Maze Bank Arena
Start at Michael’s house and follow the reunion scene. Drive with Trevor to the arena, park in the marked space and get out. Before going inside, deal with the event coordinator standing near the parking area.
Knock him out with a melee attack for No, I Can Park Here. Walking straight into the arena can miss the opportunity. There is no reason to start a wider fight with bystanders or introduce a wanted level here.
-
Interrupt the audition and follow Lazlow
Enter the arena and follow the route to the stage. After the confrontation, pursue Lazlow through the building and outside. Stay focused on the marked escape route rather than attacking staff or taking a different exit.
The pursuit leads to a truck. Get into the Phantom and continue the chase with its trailer still connected. The trailer is awkward, but detaching it forfeits the relevant gold objective.
The arena confrontation leads directly into the Phantom truck chase. -
Keep the trailer attached and build speed
Follow Lazlow’s car closely enough to maintain the chase. Brake before tight corners and give the trailer space to swing through the turn. Cutting an apex too aggressively can snag a barrier and leave you stationary while the target gets away.
Use the clearer straight sections to reach the Phantom’s top speed. Accelerate smoothly and avoid weaving between traffic when a steady line is available. The medal is about reaching the vehicle’s maximum speed, not repeatedly colliding with Lazlow.
-
Follow the chase into the storm drain
Continue along the pursuit route into the concrete channel. Keep the truck under control on the descent and stay near Lazlow until the scripted confrontation begins. Do not try to destroy his vehicle or run him over to end the chase early.
Let the final scene resolve to complete the mission. If you missed the speed requirement, use a replay to plan a cleaner straight-line run while preserving the trailer. Reaching the end with the trailer attached and staying close are separate objectives, so check both on the results screen.
Gold medal checklist
- Fastest Speed: Reach the Phantom’s top speed. Use an open straight and minimise collisions.
- Bearing Down: Stay close to Lazlow throughout the chase. Recover quickly from corners and obstacles.
- No, I Can Park Here: Knock out the event coordinator outside the arena before entering.
- All Hooked Up: Keep the truck’s trailer attached during the chase.
Common questions
Can I unhook the trailer to make the chase easier?
You can make the truck easier to handle that way, but it forfeits the keep-the-trailer gold condition. Use wider turns instead.
Do I need to shoot Lazlow?
No. Follow the chase to its scripted conclusion. Destroying the target or creating unrelated combat does not help the mission.
What happens next
The reunited characters are drawn into the next Los Santos story missions. Dead Man Walking continues Michael’s dealings with Dave, followed by the three-character operation in Three’s Company.
